Journalling Day 3 reads:

We’ve not received any Christmas Cards yet – and I have none sent. I always have the good intentions to make my own cards – but it usually is just that – good intentions. It doesn’t help that Doug always seems to buy Christmas Cards in the Boxing Day/January sales – I think I have 6 different boxes!!

My other aim since 2005 is to send local cards by Scout Post – so I really try to have them ready the first weekend in December – collection usually ends on 6th December. Then I have the cards going to my penpals in Australia, Canada, USA, Europe (3 different last posting dates) and then UK. Aim again is to send them before the last posting dates but it usually is a mad rush.

And it’s always me sending Christmas Cards – Doug doesn’t bother really. Not sure why I am including people who are friends of Doug’s parents etc, but I am duly updating my address book with people who send us Christmas Cards. And I may just prune out the ones who haven’t sent us cards.

Most of my cards include a “Family Newsletter” – specially for people who live far away and I haven’t been very good with keeping in touch with them. Several of my friends are getting Christmas E-mails – just to keep up-to-date with today’s technology.

Actually I have planned to transfer my address book from my Psion to my notebook (well, finish it) which means manual typing as the Psion has only a analogue connection cable and the only PC who takes this is Doug’s old PC which is not connected to anything anymore.

Well I fancied just playing with my stash for this one, as the journaling would just be along the lines of “Thank God for online shopping!”.

‘nuff said.

Anyway, I hope to press on tomorrow with some more entries, but have to tackle the Christmas card list in earnest and get them ready to go! :os

As usual close-ups are uploaded on my blog.

tfl!

We have been successful at blending our traditions … but I still struggle to surrender to his family’s traditions when we go there. My family has even blended my husband’s traditions into their own, so he will have a happy holiday … so when his family indicates zero interest in budging, it stings more than a little bit. My hidden, HIDDEN journaling talks about that struggle & how I am not letting it ruin my holiday this year.

I had a lot of fun doing this one … but it took much longer than expected & my handwriting is cursed tonight. LOL. Oh well! It turned out differently than was in my head, but I am still happy with it! :)

the third image above is of the tags that are in the envelope. This was fun, but took some time.
